Ingredients

3 cups water
3 cups brown sugar, divided
2 cinnamon sticks
2 cups butter, softened
2 white bread, loaves, sliced, toasted
¼ tsp ground cinnamon, or to taste
¼ tsp ground nutmeg, or to taste
⅛ tsp ground cloves, or to taste
2 cups raisins
2 cups peanuts
1 lb sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine water, 2 cups of brown sugar, and cinnamon sticks together in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes until sugar is dissolved and liquid has reduced into a syrup. Remove cinnamon sticks from syrup using a slotted spoon.
Spread butter onto each toasted bread slice. Make 1 layer of buttered bread in a deep casserole dish or oven-proof stockpot. Sprinkle cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves over bread layer. Sprinkle ¼ the raisins, ¼ the peanuts, ¼ the remaining brown sugar, and ¼ the Cheddar cheese over bread layer. Repeat layering with remaining ingredients. Pour cinnamon syrup over entire dish; cover with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes until cooked through. Cool for 20 minutes before serving.
Serve and enjoy.
